Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A secondary infusion is the administration of a parenteral drug that has been diluted in a small volume of IV solution, usually 50 to 100 ml, over 30 to 60 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Unconscious clients are at a heightened risk for aspiration. Consequently, the nurse must ensure that liquids do not enter the client's airway during oral hygiene. Oral hygiene does not constitute a specific risk for infection, fluid imbalance, or impaired skin integrity.
